HISTORY: Mikhail Rasputin was a national
hero of the former Soviet Union. An astronaut, the leader
of the first Russian super team, the Soviet Super Soldiers,
he was the first to step forward and challenge Apocalypse.
Mikhail fought Apocalypse and his Horsemen in the streets
of Moscow. He killed the Horseman known as War and forced
the retreat of most of Apocalypse’s warriors. Intrigued
by the strength and courage of this lone warrior, Apocalypse
confronted Mikhail alone. During the battle, Apocalypse
decided he had discovered his newest Horseman and captured
him. After enduring months of experimental procedures and
brainwashing, Mikhail took his place by his new master’s
side.

As Apocalypse’s newest Horseman, Mikhail led a group of Infinite soldiers
back to Moscow where he discovered Colossus
was the new leader of the Soviet Super Soldiers. This group fought valiantly
but were no match for their former leader and all but Colossus were killed.
Despite the months of brainwashing, Mikhail could not bring himself to kill
his brother. Colossus almost broke through Apocalypse’s brainwashing when
the X-Men arrived, driving him away.

Mikhail went into seclusion, using his reality-warping powers on himself. He
changed his flesh into a flesh-metal hybrid and opened up gateways in his own
mind that gave him powers that even Apocalypse had never dreamed of. When Mikhail
returned, Apocalypse placed him in charge of his Eurasian lands. In the final
days of Apocalypse’s rule, Mikhail sensed a change coming, he disobeyed
his master and planned to take Eurasia for himself. Mikhail traveled to London
in an attempt to destroy the Human Council and take control of Europe. The plan
did not go smoothly and a small group of humans were able to sabotage his plans.
Dr. Donald Blake apparently killed Mikhail when he forced the two of them to
plunge from the top of Big Ben.

SUPERHUMAN POWERS: Mikhail is a mutant
who possessed reality-warping abilities, the exact nature
of which is unknown. It is rumored Mikhail is able to burrow
holes into reality itself. He is also able to transmute
flesh and used this process on himself, creating a dense
armor around his body. In the end, after years of mutating
himself, Mikhail did not fear even Apocalypse himself. Whether
or not this bravado was warranted is unclear.
